OT: Colin Cowherd makes fun of U of M women

Slow day in sports, and nothing to ground breaking here, but my least favorite sports commenatator Collin Cowherd took a little jap at ladies from Ann Arbor. During his interview with Kate Upton, he states, "I have been to Ann Arbor before, and there is not many Kate Upton's there". (I know its hard to match the beauty of Kate, but you get his point). Whats more stupid about the comment is how he thinks she was a Michigan student. Interview here, http://deadspin.com/5885390/kate-upton-hangs-up-on-colin-cowherd-after-he-asks-what-shes-wearing-how-much-she-gets-paid . (States this at :42 secs). The whole interview i thought was just low class and ackward.

If you don't take him seriously, then he makes some decent background noise...

I agree though, what bothers me is that he makes connections between various things and incorrectly argues that they're directly related and states other as though he's the first person to come up with his analogies, which is rarely true.

For example, Cowherd is the kind of host that will make a theoretical (not fact-based argument) that the only cause of stadiums being sold out is the current winningness of the team. He won't show any correlation in data or, like, admit to us the fact that there are other contributing factors (tradition, marketing, whatever, this was just a random example).

Broad generalizations without knowing subtleties. And after you read this you could argue that I'm doing the same, but I've listened to enough Cowherd (not often, but enough) to have a valid opinion.

In fact, calling him a clown is a serious insult to clowns. As soon as I hear his name, I switch the station. He looks like a dweeb and acts like an a*%.

Harbaugh football is not just "hit 'em in the mouth." There are sophisticated strategies, but they all serve a physical approach. As a defender, you know that after all the deception, someone big is going to run into you.

She also hung up on his ass in that interview after he asked her some questions about being unemployed and wearing sweat pants and about how much she makes. She is climbing my cancer list (The Change Up reference if you need it).

or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

in terms of the intelligence of what he says. Sometimes he has really good insights, other times he makes completely assinine generalizations that aren't supportable in the least. Either way, he must be a total jackass to be around.

"You owe it to every man, woman, and child in the State of Michigan to beat the Buckeyes and silence their fans! Now go out there and make it happen!"

We've really taken a hard turn in a bad direction on this board in the last couple of days in terms of misogynistic crap like this or border-line homophobia. The swimsuit issue seems to have turned people into teenagers.

Most people just said that Cowherd is an idiot. An MSU fan, above, said that Ann Arbor women should be appreciated for their intelligence. Your post and maybe a few others pulled this thread down (though, admittedly, anything to do with Colin Cowherd starts pretty low).

You should find another blog if you want to call women cows. This blog is not RCMB, or whatever it's called. It's one thing to start a thread about something that few people care about. It's another to post something that makes Michigan fans look like a bunch of doucebags.

As for being a p.c. monitor and protector of women, I'm just pointing out common decency. I'm guessing that you would react similarly if someone made a crack about African Americans and fried chicken and watermelons...Or maybe you wouldn't, but either way, grow up.

was about Cowherd making fun of UM women. I have three daughters who are alums, rather pretty in my biased opinion. That's why I got on this post. Why did you get on this post, to monitor and profess that you are above us who make jokes? To top it off you accuse me of being a racist. Nice try professsor.

"The Fuhrer suffers from a condition known as meteorism, the primary symptom of which is uncontrollable flatulence."

But anyway, you can't just write something off as a "joke" and call it a day. As with my example above, nobody would get away with a "joke" similar to yours about black people - and they shouldn't...And, yeah, I did check out this thread b/c I thought it might get ugly. The users of this blog police this place pretty heavily, as you've probably noticed.

need people like you to monitor any "ugly" posts. If such posts are so heavily policed as you say, why do we need you? I expect so you can feel soooo good about yourself, protecting women and minorities.

"The Fuhrer suffers from a condition known as meteorism, the primary symptom of which is uncontrollable flatulence."

Wouldn't clinical psychologists declare someone who talks to himself for hours every day and makes no sense, borderline insane? Sometimes, I just start listening to static or trying to tune in distant AM stations in the middle of the day to find alternatives to his blathering idiocy.
